OPSEC - Navy Operations Security
Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.
DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.
DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

I double checked and yes, I received the box via FedEx. If you still haven't received a box, you are probably correct and he donated/trashed his clothes. I noticed next to your username (ship13/div 293). How do you know his ship and division number. Our boys arrived around the same time and I have no idea what his ship and division number is.
Thank you, Navymommy93

My son left on the 19th. Got his call @ 2:47 am Friday morning. He sounded a little nervous. He was able to tell me when to expect the next call & how his belongs will be arriving in a box. He ended with i love you mom. It was so hard to hang up. I was able to say I know you can do & that I loved him. Looking forward to the letter.
